In the Canadian Northwest a young minister receives a rough reception from cowboys in a cattle settlement. Attempting to hold service in a saloon, he becomes involved in a fight with Bill Hendricks, foreman of the Ashley ranch, who later befriends him and gets him a job at the ranch. There he becomes a favorite and is called "The Sky Pilot." He saves Hendricks' sweetheart, Gwen, from a cattle stampede, but she is injured; and although a plot by her embittered father and some cattle thieves is frustrated, they burn the minister's church. In saving him, however, Gwen regains the use of her limbs. The Sky Pilot brings about the reformation of Gwen's father, and he officiates at her marriage to Hendricks.
